Audio through headset while videotaping

[mooneygirl]

Someone submitted a video of their approach and landing at Oceano for Celebration Day. 

How do you get the audio from the intercom/radio on the video. Is there a jack, hook up? I think it just made it wonderful to her how many planes were coming to Oceano.

 

Any help is appreciated.

I have one and it works perfectly:

Hi Sven

Thanks for the information. It looks like the headset goes into one jack and the other jack goes into the camera?  Thank you for the link.

[Sven]

Yep, that's how it works. You will probaby also need an extention cord to reach the camera. I got mine at Radio Shack. Just ask for an 1/8 male/female cord. I think they come in 4, 6, and 8 ft lengths. I got the 6 ft and it's plenty long.

Here's a cheap one with no shipping charge:

Wow, you are right on top of things Sven.  And please let us know if you would like a copy of the manual for the Corrosion X.  Happy to ship it off to you!

[Sven]

That would be great. I'll send you an email with an address.

Beware that you need to have some degree of audio attenuation when going from the headset to the camera input. Otherwise the audio input will be overloaded and will sound very loud and distorted. Radio Shack has some cables with attenuation rsistors built in the connector. You can make your own by having a 1kohm in series and a 100 ohms from mic input side to ground.
